Make Increasing Apple Consumption one of Your New Year Lifestyle Changes!

Yakima, WA – As we welcome 2016, most of us will find a few New Year Resolutions that we’ll try to conquer for the better part of the year. Some will last and others won’t, and then we go into the next doing the same thing. It becomes this redundant cycle unless we actually make lifestyle changes, not just resolutions. Here at Borton Fruit, we feel one of the most important steps to living an all-around healthy life is to increase our daily fruit and vegetable consumption, and it doesn’t get much easier than grabbing an apple to eat every day!

Studies over the years have provided information about the benefits of many different fruits and vegetables. Some commonalities; most are high in fiber, low in calories, rich in vitamins and minerals, and many tie in with reducing the risk of different types of diseases. Our friends at the Produce for Better Health Foundation have done a fabulous job on their website of providing factual information tying into these facts along with many more. Increasing our fruit and veggie consumption could benefit each of us in so many ways.
